good luck packers...... rodgers should demand a trade.

This commissioner is a bigger idiot than Stern.

he's just forcing everyone's hand. probably makes the packers take a #2 pick to dump him instead of the #1 they want.

have to think the offer they had from the jets looks okay now.

I am not sure how much choice he had in the matter legally.
I would like to know if he really had to. The NFL states they
wanted to force the hand of one or both of the parties, but
Godell may have had to.

Anyone know if Brett could have forced reinstatement from a legal
point of view? Seems like he could.

i thought i read farve nixed the trade to NYJ and the Bucs too. you would think TB would be an option because it's close to home?

i could be wrong but i thought the packers were holding out for a #1.

I really don't understand.

Favre had a contract with Green Bay. He retired...again...while under contract to Green Bay.Only this time it was supposed to be real.GB decides to move on with their former number 1 choice as qb. Favre changes his mind and wants to unretire.GB says fine..but you're a back up. So dumb azz wants to be traded ;whether or not that was his plan doesn't matter.

GB held the upperhand and they ,as the employer,should have been allowed to carry through their own decisions.

This Favre is a cumquat matched only by this disaster of a commissioner.

all that really matters is i can enter the sports forum now without being subjected to 24/7 baseball discussions.

i hope to god they all finish 81-81. f'in ****** sport.

Its bleeding down in to High School. When Tx has to
test HS athletes for testosterone derivatives... bunch o bs.
And every kid has a dream of being an athlete instead of
a Materials Scientist (ok... so maybe this is asking a bit much)

Texas ATM males will go back to farm animals before girls.

they wanted a #1 pick from the bears or vikes because they were in the division. they would have taken less from the jets and bucs.
the list of teams that farve gave to the commissioner was just the bears and vikes because he "wants to beat the packers twice if they don't want him"... reported by espn radio. now it sounds like the pack will take less from the bears or Vickers to unload favre. the vikings seem to be in the lead because of the OC, farve would have less to learn.

Jets and Bucs in bidding war...Favre on plane on tarmac in GB waiting to see what city he is flying to. Jets currently have higher bid, but TB hasn't countered.

Can't make this sh*t up..

Unreal, can't wait to see whatever team he winds up with go 3-13 and look like idiots for giving up a draft pick for a retired guy who hasn't had time to learn the system.

espn radio reporting that the jets have the best offer on the table BUT someone got a statement from farve. his choices A- Bucs, B-Vikes, C- retire, D-NYJ.
this is WAY out of hand!
